Gorilla Mint
Gorilla Mint
Also known as: Gorilla Mints, Gorilla Mintz
Overview
Gorilla Mint is a cannabis strain that exists in two distinct genetic variations, creating some confusion in the cannabis community. The most recognized version from Ananda Seeds is an evenly balanced hybrid (50% indica/50% sativa) created through crossing Gorilla Cookies and Calisson Candy, while another popular version is an indica-dominant hybrid created from crossing Thin Mint, Zkittlez, and Gorilla Glue #4. Ananda Seeds, the original breeder, has more than twenty years of experience in cannabis breeding and research, focusing on original and uncommon genetics grown in fully organic living soil. The strain was developed in the early 2010s and quickly garnered attention among connoisseurs for its unique blend of effects and remarkable yield. Gorilla Mint buds display fluffy, spade-shaped forest green nugs with dark amber undertones, thick deep orange hairs, and a frosty coating of chunky, minty white crystal trichomes, making them visually appealing and resin-rich specimens that reflect the strain's potent genetic heritage.
